  <p style="margin-top: 0;">Concordia University&rsquo;s Faculty of Fine Arts insists that students maintain academic integrity throughout their studies.  Details regarding the University&rsquo;s definition of academic integrity are described in its <a href="http://secretariat.concordia.ca/policies/academic/en/AcademicCodeConduct2008.pdf">Code of Conduct (Academic)</a>.  The Code is printed in the University&rsquo;s Undergraduate and Graduate Calendars, and is also available on the University&rsquo;s website, <a href="http://web2.concordia.ca/Legal_Counsel/policies/english/AC/Code.html">here</a>.</p>
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0;">&nbsp;</p>
    <p style="margin-top: 0;">If you have any doubts or questions about what constitutes academic misconduct, please consult the Code.  Other helpful Concordia sources of information include:</p>
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0;"><a href="../../../../pageswww.concordia.ca/"> Student Learning Services </a></p>
    <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><a href="http://library.concordia.ca/help/howto/citations.html#citing">Concordia University Libraries Citation and Style Guides </a></p>
    <p style="margin-top: 0;"><a href="../../../../pageswww.concordia.ca/">Advocacy and Support Services </a></p>
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0;">&nbsp;</p>
    <p style="margin-top: 0;">The most common violation of the Code of Conduct (Academic) is plagiarism, which is defined and discussed on the preceding three websites.  However there are also other activities that undermine academic integrity and that are therefore classified as offenses. Please consult the Code itself for details.</p>
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0;">&nbsp;</p>
    <p style="margin-top: 0;">Please remember: Ignorance of the Code of Conduct (Academic) will not be considered an excuse or a justification of actions that contravene the University&rsquo;s expectations of academic integrity.  If you are uncertain about a professor&rsquo;s expectations, or if you are having problems meeting assignment deadlines, speak with the professor.</p>
    <p style="margin-bottom: 0;">&nbsp;</p>
    <p style="margin-top: 0;">Anyone charged with violating the Code of Conduct (Academic) in a course taken in the Faculty of Fine Arts will have their case referred by their professor to the Associate Dean, Academic &amp; Student Affairs, who arranges a formal interview with the student(s) involved.  Both the Student Advocacy Program and the Concordia Student Union Advocacy Centre give advice and support to any student summoned for an interview with the Associate Dean.</p>

    <p style="margin-top: 0">If the Associate Dean decides that the charge is justified, he or she has the authority to impose a penalty upon the student.  That penalty can take many forms, including (but not limited to) assigning the student a failing grade in the course, requiring the student to take one or more extra courses, and suspending or expelling the student from the University.  Many penalties are recorded permanently on the student&rsquo;s record.</p>
